  i have also found the 2.54 version of setup to behave very brokenly.
  i wiped out the entire directory where cygwin used to live in order to 
do a clean install using the new setup.exe.  i got a partial 
installation...  only a few programs showed up in the bin directory, 
with a bunch of others in a directory called 2.4.2 under the cygwin 
root.  in addition, the setup directory where i was installing from got 
a 2.4.2 directory somehow.
  now i didn't go hacking into the registry and deleting any keys from 
there.  but this was a totally new installation, not an upgrade.  and 
the setup program picked up where it was supposed to live from the 
registry, plus my other settings like line ending.
  is the official installation process now involving a bunch of registry 
edits before cygwin can be installed again, or is this setup program 
actually quite busted?
thanks,
fred.
